Potlatch Wrestling Tournament

Dallon's last wrestling tournament was up in Potlatch last Saturday. He won one of his matches and earned himself a 3rd place medal. I am very proud of him. This coming weekend he wrestles in Kooskia.

When Spiderman Attacks!!!

So not much trick-or-treating this year, do to exhausted kids and sickness. But, the boys did dress up and we went to a few places. Dallon was the black Spiderman and Toddy was the red Spiderman. First, we stopped at Gma Skip's and Gpa Jerry's. The boys did a lot of playing for an hour and then decided we should venture on. I didnt think we would get far, since Toddy was extremely crabby and it was only 4:30. But, we headed to Gpa Todd's and Gma Shelly's. She was getting ready to make chocolate chip cookies. Toddy was happy to be there and watched cartoons while Dallon helped make cookies. It was very relaxing and fun. Then, we headed to Cottonwood. Both the boys fell asleep on the way there. So, Dallon was ready to go out once we got there. So, we hooked up with my friends Stephanie and Maria and their kids and went for an hour. It was fun, but we were ready to come home and go to bed. But, on the bright side. Dallon really hasnt asked for any of his candy. Then, Sunday morning we got up and went to Lewiston to trick or treat Grandma Darlene in the hospital. They really werent sure about Grandma being in there. Usually they hang all over her, but she just had knee surgery. But, they wore their costumes and had fun. And Grandma is doing good. Hope every one had a good Halloween.

Dallon Wrestling

Dallon wrestled in Kamiah on Saturday. He had been sick on Thursday night and Friday with a fever and cough. He had no fever on Saturday, but insisted on wrestling. I dont think he felt very good, but he wrestled. He was all ready for his first match with some energy, but not a 100%. He did very well against that kid. And then, it was down hill from there. He was very tired and you could tell he didnt feel good. This video is of his second match against one of his team mates. He is wearing white shoes. He was so tired and had no fight. He did good though. Then his last match he was exhausted. Hopefully, next weekend he will feel good and be ready to wrestle all day. I will try to get more pictures and another video next weekend.

Pumpkin Carving

Tuesday afternoon before Rick left, we decided to carve the pumpkins. Dallon and Rick chose to do Spongebob and Toddy and I did a bat. Toddy didnt like the feel of the pumpkins. So, he really wasnt into it. Dallon, on the other hand, wanted to carve everything. So, once I was done, he started carving on mine. Rick's pumpkin took about an hour to carve. Mine 10 minutes. After I took Toddy's clothes off, I guess he decided he needed to be diaper free. Although, he didnt succeed, he did look funny!!!

Dallon's First Tournament

Dallon had a great time wrestling on Saturday. We were both extremely tired, but we both managed and had a great time. He got to wrestle 4 times. Although, he did not win any, he had so much fun. He really enjoyed cheering for his buddy Evan. They are not in the same age group, so they could watch each other. I got the enjoyment of watching Dallon wrestle on our big screen tv Saturday night with Rick. I had to coach a little girl that was very scared. The only way she would wrestle was if I was with her the whole time. So, therefore, I was with her while Dallon was wrestling. Rick and Toddy decided to stay home since Rick had flown the whole day before and was still tired. He did really good and had lots of fun. Stay tuned for next weeks pictures. Maybe I can get a video uploaded next week. He is all ready!!!

Dallon's 1st Field Trip

Dallon got to go on his first field trip for school last Friday. I got to go with him as one of the volunteers. I really like his school because they allow for parents to come whenever they want and they also get to volunteer one day a month to stay the whole day. Anyways, the class got to walk down to the local grocery store, Cash and Carry, to buy an apple and tour the store. This is a picture of the store manager and one of Dallon's teachers, Miss Brittany. This is the group that I got to walk to the store. Dallon, Joey, and Eliana. Dallon and Joey got along just fine, but Eliana was devastated on the way back and had to walk with one of the teachers.

And this is Dallon's whole class. There was only one kid missing that day. It was so much fun and I cant wait for the next trip. Plus, I cant believe how well 24 4-5 years old can act when there are so few adults to supervise. There were only 2 kids that got in trouble or caused problems and had to walk with the teachers. Very polite and good bunch of kids.
